Novel Bin Chapter 10 - Trial And Error
After observing the fruit for some time, he found something peculiar.
At times, tiny golden texts appeared and disappeared on the fruit.
The text contained some special kind of signs which combined to form the text and it was giving out a special kind of feeling, which he was unable to comprehend.
He used his spiritual sense on the fruit, to see the signs more clearly.
But to his surprise, he found that when he was using the spiritual sense there were no text or signs as if it didn\'t exist.
When he opened his eyes the texts were appearing and disappearing on its own will.
" I can\'t understand the mystery behind this fruit, so I will leave it be... But what I am more afraid of is whether the fruit will also disappear just like the tree..... Should I eat it or not?
What would be the consequence…
Will it be just like in those novels and I would gain new powers or something...
After all, the tree did give it to me... What if, it shouldn\'t be eaten just like that or maybe it contains more energy than I could take....
I should put this on hold for now, there are much more important matters that I should focus on.
Like finding out where I am and is there any other dangers like the evil sword lurking around..
I will get some rest first regain my energy and look around"
....
After looking around for 1 day, He got a better understanding of the surroundings, this place was like a cage in a semi sphere shape covered by the black and red smoke from every direction.
For some reason the black and red smoke didn\'t enter the semi sphere area.
Another thing that he found was that there were five mountains in total, the fifth was a frozen mountain, giving out chilly air.
" I don\'t think this is the surface of the earth, if something like this existed on earth it would have surely made news.
Unless someone deliberately covered it up and there is also the question of how I appeared here.
The other possibility is that this place is deep under the earth, something like that sci-fi novel journey to the center of the earth..
But I don\'t have the slightest clue what these mountains are and this black & red smoke is really weird.
It\'s probably the mountains that are keeping the smoke away.
Whenever I look at those black and red smoke, it gives me the creeps.
It\'s as if some dangerous beast is looking back at me through the smoke...
And these mountains, I can\'t even go near them.
The only mountain I can get on is the one I came from…..
That aside thankfully the fruit didn\'t disappear or anything.
Even when observing with spiritual sense, I can see that its energy has not decreased or anything.
But this is something beyond my understanding so I am not sure...
Another matter that puts me at ease is there are no dangerous animals around the area... Now that I have a basic understanding, I will observe and experiment more tomorrow hopefully I will find a way out soon "
6 more days passed by, He started experimenting by throwing small stones into the mountains, he found that the 4 mountains were really dangerous. Anything that got near the flame mountain was burned into ash and drifted into the air.
As for the frozen mountain anything that got near it was frozen and turned brittle and broke down.
For tornado mountain it would cut anything into small pieces and the weirdest one was the black mountain.
The stones that were thrown at the black mountain sometimes disappeared, sometimes only half of the stone thrown in would disappear and sometimes nothing happened to the stone.
He even used the spiritual sense to probe, the result was disastrous.
He used the spiritual sense on the flame mountain and as it reached the area before the mountain.
It was like his spiritual sense was burned the instant it touched it.
Even though he withdrew the same instant, it was already late.
He got an unimaginable headache as if his brain was fried and lost consciousness, he came back to senses only after one whole day.
He already had the conjecture that these mountains represented the Extreme of 5 elements Earth, Fire, Air, Water and Space.
But for some reason the energy of these mountains were contained within 30 meters of the mountains.
The troubling thing was the black and red smoke, he didn\'t dare to go into it or probe it with spiritual sense.
After learning from the previous events, he created a long pole from earth.
He pushed it towards the smoke, when he pulled it back after some time, he found that there was nothing left of the part that extended into the smoke, and the edge of the remaining part was as if it was corroded.
He created another pole, but this time he pulled it back immediately and he got a different result, only a part of the stick has been corroded as if dipped in acid.
He continued with the experiments, this time he extended the pole towards the red colored smoke but to his surprise nothing happened.
